Hi guys,
First of all, I am quite new with Rooting, and putting roms on my phone. But I really like it, so I'm doing a lot of research to it atm
Two days ago, I decided to put CM7.1 on my Desire HD, together with the LorDModUE V8.1 kernel. Everything works just perfect, I really like it.
However, I do have one pretty big problem, and that has to do with wifi.
When I am upstairs, where my router is, my wifi works fine. But when I go downstairs, my wifi becomes ''unstable''. It still has connection with my router, but with a lower signal. Well, that isn't a problem really, but the problem is, is that my wifi signal becomes white after a while.
This still doesn't have to be a big problem, but for me it is, because my internet isn't working anymore, when I am having a white wifi signal! When I try to load a website on my phone, it just won't load. it is like it freezes, because it does not say I have no wifi signal.
So, I am still connected to my wifi, but it doesn't load any websites, or any other programs that require internet acces.
Then, when I reboot, it works fine again! but only for some time, it is really random.
This is only when I am downstairs. as I said, upstairs, at my router, it works perfectly.
What I already tried:
- Set my wifi options to static IP
- Downloaded wifi fixer
- reboot
- airplane mode
I really don't know where to find the solution. I could try to reinstall cm7.1, without that kernel, but I really like that kernel, so I prefer not to reinstall anything. But if that is really necessary, so be it
I would like to hear from you!
Niels
I think your problem is screen off and on, signal become white right?
If so, I think you forgotten to switch "WiFi sleep policy" to never in WiFi setting

Thanks for your quick reply, but that also does not help. I already tried that aswell, but I forgot to mention it.. it is already set to 'never'.. :/
HTC has better WiFi chips than Samsung.
Check with your kernels developers whether it has WiFi "N" router setting included. The "N" (larger WiFi range router support"

Hmm, It doesn´t seem to have that..
I guess I will have to reinstall cyanogen, and install a different/stok cm7 kernel then?
I made a screenshot on how it looks like, now it has a green connection, but the internet load bar sort of ''freezes''
* Oh, can't enter any link before I reached the 8th post >.<*
My sense wildfire has WiFi "N" rounter support in custom kernel

I have this issue with wifi. It's that when I'm at home, it won't connect at all to my wifi all I get is obtaining address and eventually unsuccesful, yet occasionally it does work. Then, when using other wifis, turning on wifi does make it connect and show the icon in the notification bar, but still, it won't always work. I try to get into the market but it says no network or something like that. Tried most web browsers, nothing works too. What can I do? My phone is rooted and flashed with bionix fusion rom, evn though this problem sometimes happened even with stock firmware, rooted and not rooted. What can I do? Can't really get a replacement because i bought it from overseas. HELP!!

Some routers are a tad dodgy, so it may not be the phone at all. Since we dont know what type of router or what sort of connection environment your in (how many wifi connections it's handling, etc...) it's hard to say. Still it's easier to replace a $30 router than it is a several hundred $$$ phone.
I said in the post itself that I tried more than one wifi aka router, most of them connected to a laptop and my phone at a certain time. Therefore I doubt the issue is the router. I think it's a bug. Is there no fix for this?
This is kind of a shot in the dark, but have you tried putting the phone in Airplane mode and then restarting the Wi-Fi? I've found that the cell data connection can sometimes interfere with my Wi-Fi.

I would put my money on the router, I have not seen anyone else complain about this who is running bionix. So a bug within bionix, I'm going to say no.
HOWEVER!!!!!! I had the same problem for a while. I have AT&T uverse and there 2WIRE router is total crap... I had the same exact problems as you PLUS it would not connect to my mac mini for more then a few seconds. I hooked up an older router I had laying around and BAM no more issues.
I got the same problem, but my phone is not rooted or flashed. Must be a system/software problem.

No really people, It's the routers you are using... not the phone...
I've been having issues with wifi on my tab. I visit a friends house and it won't pick up the wifi. My phone picks it up fine, laptops pick it up ect. I stand AT the router and still it doesn't pick it up.
I thought it was a 1 off but it started happening at work too. The only differenceis that is WAS working fine at work, now won't pick it up. And now I have the same issue at my parents.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know a fix?
Cheers
Try wifi sleep policy and play with the options. Mine was set to "Never" and I was having random problems. Now set to "when screen turns off", and I never lose connection, screen on or off... On the other hand your problem may be different.
/reviveThread
Can't be sleep policy as it picks up other wireless networks fine.
I was just living with this issue until it lost my Home Wifi! Now thats gone I have to turn Hotspot on my phone, which I shouldn't have to do.
I thought it might be a problem with the ROM, so I've tried Task's GalaxyTask v5.0 and I still have the same issue. Might try flashing Stock and seeing if I get the same issue.
This is doing my head in now!
I flashed 3.2 Stock (rooted) and it picked up the missing Wifi connections. The rom is full of hebrew with silly boot and shutdown animations though. Tried flashing several custom 3.2 ROMS other than that and same issue as before.
Also, added connection manually and stood next to the Wifi antenna at work. Still got nothing. WTH is going on?
I read somewhere that Galaxy tab is not able to connect to some channels of wifi.
I believe it was not working with channels above 11
Try changing the channel and check
Thanks for the reply.
My home network is on channel 3. Plus it doesn't really explain how it can work 1 sec then totally disapear forever. Also doesn't explain how it works with the stock hebrew ROM but not with any others I've tried.
Just trying to find the wireless details for work now so I can change the channel anyway.
Then go with the Hebrew Rom and select English as language

I'd rather have no Wifi than see that nasty looking shutdown animation.
Anyway, problem seems to be semi resolved now.
Changed my wireless from channel 2 to 12, still didn't show. Back to 2, still didn't show. Changed it to 10 and it magically appeared.
Not sure what the work one is on. Still waiting for access.
The short of it is, my Wifi crapped out for reasons beyond my experiences thus far.
The long of it. I flashed epinter's 07/25/2012 Nightly and everything seemed to be working nicely, Wifi especially. Then today, out running errands and dropped my Atrix in my Car Dock and attempted to turn on Bluetooth for the first time since flashing, and the device froze then restarted. Once back up, I tried turning Wifi back on, and the device froze again and restarted. Thinking maybe the radio driver went south, I grabbed epinter's 07/27/2012 build (epinter-cm10-20120727_1846-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip), and still no luck. Back into Recovery, Wiping everything and also factory resetting then flashing twice over again, boot up, still no wifi, and if it manages to seemingly fire up, the device hangs and restarts.
Within the last 2 hours (Been at this for about 12 hours now.) I grabbed Jokersax's build (Beta 0.1.0), wiped/reset/flash twice as I have before. Now as I take a breath I noticed that the Wifi Icon came up in the Notification bar, but when I go into Settings and Scan, I see none of the Networks around me. I looked under Advanced and noticed that my MAC Address is 'Unavailable' nor am I showing an IP address, even though Wifi is saying 'On'. Verified on my Router, my Phone is not connected to it.
Odd Side note, installed aLogcat just to see if I could catch any errors, and it is not giving me anything, that is, I am not seeing any logs through the app. Most likely an unrelated issue, but still a tad annoying.
Everything else seems in order, including Mobile Data (Able to access Web Pages, Market/Play Store, receive email, etc.). Just Wifi pretty much 'Lights are on, but no one is Home.'. Any suggestions on next steps?
We discussed this issue over in some other threads and conclusion is that it's a hardware malfunction Ur broadcom chip is burned,many people (including me) had that problem.

I need to really work on my searching, tried several variations of 'atrix WiFi cm10' and could not pin down a related thread.
But back on topic, CRAP! What I was hoping was not the case. Thanks for the reply, will continue to dig for those threads and cross fingers the chip really is not fried (doubtful but hey, people can dream right?).
Thank you for the reply.

I can't search the threads right now as i am typing from my phone-search is limited to 20-30 posts... But keywords for ur search should be : "atrix wifi error" or "wifi and bluetooth error on atrix" Several forums have this kinda threads,not just xda unfortunately ... seems like it's very often malfunction on this lovely phone. I couldn't repair my previous atrix so i bought another one.

We're talking fastboot wipe kind of clean install? Going to give that a go as a last attempt, will post results here.
Glimmer of hope tonight, was discussing the problem with a friend, went to turn on WiFi and it actually scanned and connected for about 2 minutes before crapping out. This tells me there maybe life to the chip still. Now to get fastboot to connect and try a wipe and see what happens.

Any news on this front? I am one of the afflicted as well.
I'm having a similar issue. though my BT works just fine, no delays, no errors, no intermittance.
Wifi, I can scan for networks just fine. i click on mine to connect. it shows connecting, noting that when it says connecting the signal shows 1 bar as compared to the full set of wifi bars when scanning, i am also right next to the AP. is tries connceting for about 20 seconds or so. then goes back to saying "saved" under the SSID, other networks showing "disabled" when this happens. i originally noticed this after flashing epinters cm10. i tried flashing 37p, 36p and 30p radios with no difference.
EDIT: also want to note that i HAVE disabled the "avoid poor connections" option. and have tried setting static IP.
I flashed the same and I am unable to get my wifi to work after clean wipe, radio install or anything else that I have tried. Could software have really burned up a wifi radio????

Mine works occasionally so I don't think the radio is dead. The rom just acts like it's not there most of the time and doesn't give a mac address. Sometimes it works though after a reboot. Would flashing a different radio help? My baseband version says N_01.77.37P
I had an IP and a MAC, but no wifi internet.
Using mobile data, I downloaded Set DNS and then enabled wifi, works fine.
Now it's working but mobile data is going very very slow, it took 5min to download Set DNS.
I have a skyrocket but the "no wifi" issue is probably the same - your not getting DNS
I'm going back to CM9 for now.
+1 wifi matter under CM10
Try rebooting the router.
Experienced same issue (unable to connect, showing full bars, dropping to 1 bar when connecting and never being able to complete a connection) rebooting my router has fixed the issue. I'm not technical but it might have to do with the DNS release for addresses .. in any case unplugging my router for a bit and restarting it fixed the issue for me.
I thought I saw a fix for this but I can't seem to find it.This happens to me regardless of what ICS rom I am on. Sometimes when I turn the screen on the wifi won't connect. It says it is out of range or it will just say that the connection is save. I have to turn the wifi off and the turn it back on and tell it scan. Then it will connect. I have tried changing the channel on the router and rebooting the router I connect to but that didn't help. Anybody know of a fix for this?
Unfortunately no...
I have the same condition when using ICS ...
It's very frustrating as you know ..
Since the chance of getting a fix is slim, considering jelly bean is the hot topic these days ...I've reverted to GB.
It's not perfect ....but at least the data and wifi are solid ....with great sound and call quality...
I'm staying rooted stock for a while.....g
I personally have not had any issues with wifi. I am running the ics Gubment Cheeze and have been since the first test build. Not once has my wifi not been there for me. Ics wifi has actualy been MORE stable than GB for me.
Just a silly question ... Do you both have your wifi set to keep wifi on during sleep?

Unfortunately for my my issue is there even on GB based roms. Not sure what is going on. Doesn't do it on my sister's skyrocket or her husband's iphone so I know the router is okay.
Wifi setting for me is "always on "...
As I try to take advantage of wifi hotspots ...when traveling..
On the ICS builds, I get notification of an open hotspot, but no auto connect.
But on stock GB ....I get auto connect every time.
I can't remember if ICS has the auto connect toggle...but GB does ....at least in the hotspot system app.
If ICS ran as well for me ...I'd keep it....as I think flappjaxxx ICS build is far better than stock ...but between the dreaded lag and connection issues, I bailed out for a bit ...or until I get these connection issues fixed..
Maybe I should move ???.....LOL

I am on flapjaxx and haven't had any issues with auto connecting to any of my 'known' wifi's (5 of them as i move from site to site). It detects the at&t hotspots but doesn't connect (i actually never tried to connect ) so don't know about connect automatically. Might test it out next time i am close to McD's.
It's an att specific fuction using the hotspot app ...
If it's a wifi hotspot registered on the ATT network, then it auto connects when in range.
But I believe the UCLF6 upgrade pulled this feature out...
There is a similar app on the market from ATT too duplicate this in ICS ...but it's unreliable, and a battery hog for Me...g
I will look into when i am off work. Think i disabled it myself one of these go arounds of flashing. (think i was tired of it popping saying that it was available ). Want to see if i can duplicate it for you.

Well, looks like i didn't uninstall or freeze it, so imust have not been near one recently. Or just getting old and forgetting it. There's one done street from where i am. Will stop by on my way out and see what happens.
Sitting in McD'sdrive-thru as i type. At&t hotspot popped and connected automatically. Had to shut wifi off because it was super slow.( Lte in this area usually pulls 40-50mb downloads)

Oh.....thats right...I'm confusing my threads....sorry....g
Yeah, sorry if i hijacked your thread there. Was looking at what Greg posted.
Have you tried reflashing only the modem? Flapjaxx has some stickied in the dev thread or you can pull one from a pure stock and put it in an existing flash zip. That's what I had to do. I had all kinds of problems coming from GB to ICS with the radio. Once I found one that worked I made a zip and keep it just in case. Haven't had to use it yet but you never know.

I know this has been discussed before, but after hours of searching last night on google, i have come to a standstill.
Has the wifi constant disconnect / reconnect been addressed.
Cheers.
re
looks like i will have to post my own reply.
I have reset the phone, and now it holds my wifi connections and does not disconnect.
Id suggest that if you have the same wifi disconnect and reconnect issues.. try a factory reset.
It connects fine, it just doesn't receive any data. I have tried flashing the stock modules. That didn't seem to help, I"ll keep trying hopefully when an decent AOSP rom appears i'll flash that and it'll correct the problem
Thanks

Is this with all wifi or just at your house, may be your equipment, does another phone have trouble connecting?
re
i just noticed last night something interesting, but not sure if it means anything to anybody else.
I have installed the chrome browser and have been using that for the last few days.
I connected to my home wifi and cruised around the web for an hour with no issues.
I decided to try the stock android browser and it would not load, like the wifi signal was gone.
i went back to my chrome browser and there was no issue loading new web pages.
I went back to my stock browser and reset it back to defaults and bamm it was working like the chrome browser with no hiccups.
Not saying this is a fix.. but it worked for me!

i was having trouble at work and at home.
Tried every wifi/wpa setting/channel/encryption/speed etc.
i have 5 other wifi devices that have no issues.
But after resetting my phone and then running chrome / clearing , resetting my stock browser .. all is good in data land.
edit.. just tested out my work wifi with the stock browser for about 10 min.. not one issue.
I have had success forgetting the Wi-Fi network that is causing issue and then reconnecting.
